The 8 mm Remington Magnum's parent case is the .375 H&H Magnum. It is a very long cartridge that cannot be used in standard length actions, such as those that accommodate the .30-06. The cartridge produces up to 5694 J (4,200 ft • lbf) of muzzle energy when hand reloaded. The 8 mm Remington Magnum was intended to compete with the .300 Weatherby Magnum and .338 Winchester Magnum. Remington’s decision to use a metric bullet may have been prompted by their past success with the 7 mm bore diameter. Even though the 8 mm Remington Magnum has never been very popular, one would have to look long and hard before coming up with a better cartridge for use on elk, moose, and larger African antelope. On the other hand the .338 Winchester Magnum had a 30 year head start, is short enough for medium length actions, and is available with heavier bullets. Bullet selection is quite critical with the 8 mm Remington Magnum since the bullets have to be designed and constructed to hold together at magnum velocities.
